“Against Nothing (The Sonnet) I am not against consumerism, I am not against corporations. I am not against politics and policy, I am not against politicians. I am not against fame and fortune, I am not against celebrity. I am not against entrepreneurship, I am not against technology. I am not against bureaucrats, I am not against red tape. I am not against bibles and comics, I am not against prayers and faith. I ain't against anything that serves human welfare. The moment they go astray, I'll be their nightmare.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 53 If you call me liberal, You have understood nothing. If you call me conservative, You have understood nothing. If you call me religious, You have understood nothing. If you call me atheist, You have understood nothing. If you call me communist, You have understood nothing. If you call me capitalist, You have understood nothing. You’ll never find me in your fancy ideology, You'll know me by taking pain to wipe another's agony.”

“Love is always flowing. Love is a river. The moment you stop a river, it becomes dirty. The river is only clean when it is flowing. The same is true about love. Love should be in a constant flow. But our minds are always trying to make love static. We try to cling to love. We try to make love a static and permanent phenomenon. We destroy the possibilities for change. We are afraid of change, because we don't know where the change will lead. So we want tomorrow to be exactly like today. That destroys all possibilities for growth. Let the future be open. The natural life is change. We have to flow with nature, and with the ultimate law of existence. Be in tune with existence, without expectations on your part, and you will be enriched. Each moment will bring new life, new joy. And a person whose love is always flowing becomes vast. He becomes as vast as the sky itself. In that vastness one knows what God is. That vastness is God.”

“Giants in Jeans Sonnet 32 Some people still say, Women belong in the kitchen. By that same logic, Men belong in the jungle. Traditions of yesterday Cannot be the standard for today, Ethics and logic of primitives, Cannot be the measure of civilized way. Each generation must find themselves, They must rewrite their own code. Better to die in the course of ascension, Than to survive in hypnotized mode. Cut off all allegiance to the dead and dark, As new humans build your own moral arc.”
